Elective - Quill

Tutors

Description

The recent developments in the field of Virtual Reality have not only brought us fantastic Virtual Experiences, but also new tools for creating art. One of these tools is Quill, a tool developed by Oculus Story Studio for illustrators to create immersive 3D animations directly within VR. Quill was developed while creating the VR piece “Dear Angelica”, which considered a key question: What do illustrations look like in VR? To answer that, the studio moved beyond traditional flat CG tools (Maya, Photoshop, etc.) and developed Quill, which allows hand movements to become strokes of color in true 3D. For the first time, creators of an animated film were inside their own creation, no longer detached from it and looking at it from the outside.

In this elective students will explore Quill as a tool for Storytelling, both for Virtual Reality, as well as 2D illustration and animation. There will be technical instructions to guide students in getting to know Quill, as well as feedback on the artistic creations students will make. This elective will be especially valuable for students illustration and animation interested in the potential of Virtual Reality.
